editing input.scs not working

Hi folks,

I'm running 6.1.5 and I ocasionally need to edit the simulation netlist (for example, to comment out a parasitic capacitance to debug). In the "old days" you would edit the input.scs and then hit simulation ->run and it would run without generating a new netlist. However, with this version it doesn't always use the input.scs - it seems to have one in memory that it uses. That is, if I go to simulation->netlist->display netlist I get the input.scs file that I modified, but the simulation uses the old one. (Editing the file "netlist" doesn't seem to help either.)

Occasionally I can get it to use the modified one, but I'm not sure exacly what I did to get it to do that. It is difficult to debug when you don't know what netlist is being used! So, what netlist is being used? How do I get it to use one that I've modified? 

 

Thanks, this problem is quite frustrating.

Rob

     Thanks. I wondered if I could just execute that runSimulation file.
